spending money to make money?

Hello troops,

First of all, if this isnt an appropriate post for the debt board, please can a mod remove it? Thanks.

I'm in the unusual position of having come into a wee bit of money (£500). My debts are coming down nicely, I have no cards left and only(!) loans which will not take overpayments though will allow me to pay off in full if I were able to save the full amount.

So - Im looking for creative ways to make this £500 into some more. I dont mind hard work and am game for anything legal and risk free - I'm not a gambler when it comes to money, though I would be interested in match betting if there is a idiots guide anywhere?

My challenge to myself is to make enough to pay off my Black horse loan on my birthday - 2 months from now.

tell me to bank it if you think its best!
